Frequently asked questions

What is animal chiropractic?

Chiropractic optimizes proper function and motion of the spine and joints of the body.  Dysfunctional areas are corrected using specific manual or instrument assisted forces (known as the adjustment) with the goal of restoring proper function. When it comes to the body: “motion is life," therefore, the health of the musculoskeletal system has a direct relationship with the health of the nervous system and brain.

Why do you need a referral?

"Chiropractic in Texas is legally restricted to the human body... The manipulation of animals is considered the practice of Veterinary Medicine and must be done only with the permission of the veterinarian in charge of the animal. It is not legally sufficient to manipulate an animal with the permission of the owner but without the permission of the supervising veterinarian."                                  -Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners

​

What if my vet won't sign a referral?

Please have your vet call us directly if they have any concerns about referring your pet. We will do everything possible to navigate a path to get your animal the care they deserve. However, if your vet absolutely will not sign a referral, our best advice is to please seek adding an additional veterinarian to your pet's care team. We conveniently provide a list of local veterinarians that may be able to accommodate you in your pursuit of animal chiropractic services.

​

How long will it take to get an appointment?

We do our best to get new patients in as soon as possible. However, we cannot book an appointment until we have your vet's referral on file. We will personally contact you once we receive your pet's forms to book an appointment.
